A Few News Items

Hi Everyone,

I've got a few news items here, I hope they're of interest to you.

Facebook - 

I've established a presence on Facebook both as "Chuck Behrman" and as "C H Behrman Photography." Since I'm going to be announcing new events, workshops, etc. via Facebook, I'd like to invite you all to join Facebook and become my "friends" (many of you already are).

Face2Face - 

The Face2Face program, where I can work with you on an individual basis over the phone  or in person at your location or mine has been working out well. 

I'm available in the LA area at any time and, on occasion in the Central Coast. I'll be in the Central Coast doing Face2Face on May 16 & 17 (May 16 is totally booked - I do have some time available on the morning of May 17). If you're interested, please contact me by email, on facebook.com, or by telephone at 310.216.6611.

Discounts on ink - 

As you are probably aware, I am a great proponent of the Cone inks, made by Jon Cone of Vermont (www.inkjetmall.com). I use both his Piezography black & white inks and the ConeColor pigment inks in my Epson printers. They make reusable cartridges too.

Until today, you have been able to get a 10% discount on the inks at inkjetmall.com by using the code: chbehrman10. You can still do that for the black & white inks; but, I've got a better deal for you -- 15% off on ConeColor Pigment inks!

These inks are about ⅓ the cost of Epson inks to start with - so it's only getting better!

Use this discount code [ FRIENDS15 ] so that you can receive a 15% discount off ConeColor inks. You must place this code in the Apply Coupon Code field of the shopping cart when you checkout. 

At the same time you must enter chuck@chbphoto.com in the Customer Comments field.

Their inks are very reliable and consistent. I've been using the color inks for a couple of years in multiple printers and have had no issues as far as color, clogging or fading on both fine art or photographic papers. Their inks are tuned for the K2, K3 and K3 Vivid systems.

Photoshop CS5 - 

As you are aware by now, Adobe has started shipping Photoshop CS5. I've been using this program and it is AWESOME! I'm putting together a workshop (and CDs) that will cover the new aspects of Photoshop CS5 as they apply to photographers and hope to present these within the next couple of months. I'm planning on concentrating on the improvement and the differences in the workflow brought about by the updates. I'll let you know as soon as I can come up with a schedule for classes both in the LA area and the Central Coast.

I'm also creating a class on using layers in a non-destructive workflow to be presented in the same time period. 

 Good luck to all,

Chuck
